AI SummaryRythu Bharosa is the farmer investment support scheme of Telangana government that pays eligible farmers directly into their bank accounts. Farmers who applied under the scheme can check their payment status online through the official portal without visiting any government office.
In 2026, the state government is providing ₹12,000 per acre per year to farmers, paid as ₹6,000 per season for Kharif and Rabi crops. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy released the first tranche of ₹3,590 crore on 22 March 2026 at Narmetta village in Siddipet district, crediting ₹6,000 directly to nearly 70 lakh farmers.
Rythu Bharosa is the current name of the farmer support scheme that was earlier known as Rythu Bandhu in Telangana. The scheme was renamed and restructured in January 2025, and the old Rythu Bandhu portal now redirects to the new official website rythubharosa.telangana.gov.in.
Telangana Rythu Bharosa Status 2026
Farmers do not need to submit a fresh application form every season because the scheme works on the basis of land records saved in the Bhu Bharati system. The application window for the 2026 cycle was open until 25 March 2026 at local Rythu Vedika centres. Farmers who received updated passbooks by 28 February 2026 could apply within this window.
For the 2025-26 financial year, the state government made a budget provision of ₹18,000 crore for Rythu Bharosa. In February 2026, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy announced the release of ₹9,000 crore to farmers. The Rabi installment for 2026 is expected to be credited around August to September 2026.
Rythu Bharosa Payment Details
Every eligible farmer gets ₹12,000 per acre per year under Rythu Bharosa. This amount is paid in two equal installments of ₹6,000 per acre for Kharif and Rabi seasons. The 2026 Kharif payment was released in phases, with the first tranche of ₹3,590 crore credited on 22 March 2026.
Larger landholdings were paid in later phases, with holdings of 1 to 2 acres paid around mid-April and the remaining acreage for bigger holdings paid by late April 2026. The amount is credited through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the Aadhaar-linked bank account of the eligible farmer.
